Hi all
Are convertible sills different from the 2 door? I thought they were deeper but they are listed on carpanels.com with the same part no. for both.
i'm weighing up whether to repair or do properly and fit sills, assuming I can find them.

Metal thicker too to compensate for no roof,and there rot at the jacking point cos jacking scrapes the stone chip off i think ,all four of mine need major work,and the rear quarters are thicker gauge too i believe,easer to weld :D
